Belfast Sink

Famous quotes containing the words belfast and/or sink:

    Is it true or false that Belfast is north of London? That the galaxy is the shape of a fried egg? That Beethoven was a drunkard? That Wellington won the battle of Waterloo? There are various degrees and dimensions of success in making statements: the statements fit the facts always more or less loosely, in different ways on different occasions for different intents and purposes.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    I sink back shuddering from the quest.
    Earth being so good, would Heaven seem best?
    Now, Heaven and she are beyond this ride.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
